The LAARC runs a 440 repeater on the 'test' frequency of 446.880 with a PL of 127.3 that is open to all.

There is a local 2 mtr FM simplex 'chat' frequency that some club members and other hams use most of the time at 144.450 S.

The LAARC's 2 mtr FM simplex Saturday nite net freq is 144.430 S with a PL of 186.2. The net seems to work well with out the PL.
